| Why does one entrepreneur succeed when another fails? What are the key characteristics that define Britain's top business builders? And what has Richard Branson's mother got to do with it all? In a laconic guide to the winners and losers of entrepreneurial Britain, award-winning writer Andrew Davidson tracks down the country's top wealth creators in their natural habitat. From multimillionaire publisher Felix Dennis singing the blues (in his vast Warwickshire manor) to Voyage-trousered James Dyson explaining why failure is important, from Anita Roddick chanting Better Naked Than Nike to Sir Alan Sugar talking tough in Mayfair, Davidson's trip provides an insightful route-map to success today as he identifies eight key traits that define the great entrepreneur. And reticence (just what does Richard Branson ask the author in an Athens nightclub?) probably isn't one of them.... Entrepreneurs featured include: Sir Richard Branson Sir Alan Sugar Simon Woodroffe Charles Dunstone Luke Johnson Michael Grade Reuben Singh Felix Dennis Anita Roddick Lord Alli Guy Hands Lord Rogers James Dyson Mike Lynch Dan Wagner Brent Hoberman David Potter |
